I know what you mean, I made a sampler quilt and didn't love it until it was all put together and quilted. Plus it was 30s repro prints which didn't thrill me but I really liked it after it was done. Sashing will definitely bring it all together.SueWishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08711512451789269348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829160008505596434.post-35551289862759737992009-12-18T20:51:22.866-05:002009-12-18T20:51:22.866-05:00I love the colors on this....I think they are wond...I love the colors on this....I think they are wonderful.Kimberly Cherrine-Bellhttp://www.greenhoneyhive.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829160008505596434.post-41754973296266995962009-12-18T19:47:59.590-05:002009-12-18T19:47:59.590-05:00Well I LOVE these blocks.
